Description |
| Review Date : |

| Embassy Review : |
We arrived 15 minutes early for the interview. Our name was called for the interview 5 minutes early. We interviewed with officer Garcia, who was very nice and friendly.
He started off by explaining he didn't have a paper copy of our I-485 and it was all on the computer so bear with him while he tried to find certain things. He asked for the interview letter, both of our passports, and any other IDs we had. He asked my wife (the beneficiary) her name and date of birth, current address, when we got married, when she arrived in the US. He asked to see our marriage certificate. He asked my wife a bunch of the questions from the I-485 (have you sold illegal drugs, engaged in prostitution, planned terrorist activities against the US, lied to obtain a visa, etc.). He asked her if she was currently working. He asked for our "love story" which he allowed me to answer instead of my wife.
He said he doesn't expect us to have too much proof of marriage since its a relatively new marriage and said we had already established its a real relationship during the K-1 visa phase. He asked if we had anything else we wanted to show him. I explained we had an updated I-864 but not much had changed with my work since the last time we filed it. He said he didn't need to see it because my income was high enough. I said I had some proof of relationship stuff (joint lease, joint account, photos, etc.) which he also said he didn't need to see because we had proved our relationship in the K-1 phase. I laughed and said I guess I don't have anything else then.
He told us my wife was approved and told us to expect the green card in a week or two. We had a brief conversation on the way out about football and that was it. The interview last about 15 minutes and a good amount of it was silence while he looked things up on the computer. I stopped in the bathroom on the way out and my wife said the officer came running out because he forgot to have her sign something. She signed and that was it. |

Timeline Comments: 3Hi, congrats. my interview is in this Month at
Phili field office too. What documents you took with you and what they checked?
Thanks.
We brought the interview letter, updated I-864 with employment letter, W-2, pay stubs, last tax return. Our past NOAs, marriage certificate, both our birth certificates and a translation for my wife's. Her DS-3025 from the medical exam in her country. Both of our passports and my driver's license and social security card. We brought our original I-485 application. A copy of my wife's K-1 visa and her I-94. We also brought a bunch of things for proof of marriage like photos, joint lease, joint credit card, letters addressed to both of us, retirement account with my wife as beneficiary, documentation of her being added to my insurance.
The only things he actually asked us for were the interview letter, passports and any other IDs we had, our marriage certificate and her DS-3025. That was it.
Thank you. Appreciated. Have a great day.
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
